Toni Bentley is an idiot

If you remember the quote I took out of context from a Salon interview about the connection between anal sex and spiritual enlightenment, it was from a conversation with Toni Bentley, a former Balanchine dancer and literary critic who has written a memoir about the 250-odd times she has had anal sex and how it turned her from an atheist into a spiritual being. In the interview, Bentley came across as a pretentious twit who thinks the entire world can benefit from her not very thrilling conclusions. She also seems to think she is the only person who's ever had her ass pegged, particularly in her references to the act as the "final taboo." Apparently, she's never heard of homosexuality. Hey, idiot, when you write a memoir about the wonderful things you've learned from bukkake or being mounted by a dead rottweiler, then we can talk about final taboos. Reading a few excerpts from the book on her website, the only enlightenment I can glean from Bentley is how to guarantee a book deal with limited skills and intelligence as a writer. The title of the book makes me laugh the most: "The Surrender: An Erotic Memoir." Have some dignity, please. Have some dignity.

In a related note, I recently discovered a list of alternate titles Bentley was considering before deciding on "The Surrender." Here they are:
"The Underground Railroad: An Erotic Memoir"
"Gone Ass-fuckin': An Erotic Memoir"
"It Puts the Dick in the Ass: An Erotic Memoir"
"Dark Passage: An Erotic Memoir"
"I Like it in the Butt: No, Seriously, I Like it in the Butt"
"Erotic Memoir: An Erotic Memoir"
"Being Toni Bentley's Ass: A Spike Jonze Film"
"Masturbate Here" (arrow points to inside of book)
"Dr. Stupid's Crazy Mixed-Up Erototorium (Anal Version)"
"Stokes Birdfeeder Book : The Complete Guide to Attracting, Identifying, and Understanding Your Feeder Birds" by Donald Stokes
"Toni Bentley's Ass Totally Got Fucked: An Erotic Memoir"
